Fables in Slang Produced by David Edwards, Graeme Mackreth and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This book was produced from scanned images of public domain material from the Google Print project.) "Fables in Slang" by George Ade is a humorous collection of fables written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This book showcases Ade's unique take on life and society through a series of brief, entertaining stories that blend traditional fables with the vernacular and slang of the time. The common thread throughout these fables is a satirical examination of human behavior and social norms, highlighting the absurdities and quirks of American life. Each fable features distinct characters who experience various misadventures, often leading to a moral lesson that reflects on the human condition. For example, characters range from a troubled baseball fan to a vain young woman seeking love and success, navigating the pitfalls of their aspirations and realities. Ade's writing employs witty language and clever humor to explore themes of ambition, social status, and the folly of pretense. Ultimately, "Fables in Slang" offers readers a lighthearted yet insightful commentary on society, making it a delightful read for those interested in humor and social critique.
